Former Alabama and Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts was drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft by the Philadelphia Eagles to sit behind incumbent starter Carson Wentz and be utilized in some offensive play packages.

After Wentz has been struggling throughout the season, many fans and players have called for him to be benched in place of Hurts.

Well, in the second half of the Eagles’ contest against the Green Bay Packers, Hurts got the nod.

This is not the first time Hurts has seen action, but it’s the first time he’s been given the reigns as the consistent quarterback for multiple drives.

His first touchdown pass was a memorable one; a fourth-and-18, 32-yard pass into the end zone. It fell right into the arms of Greg Ward.
